PAS president Hadi Awang asserts that Bersatu has effectively withdrawn from Perikatan Nasional by pursuing new coalition arrangements following the Negeri Sembilan election.

PAS president Hadi Awang has disclosed that Perikatan Nasional's decision to step back from leading the Johor election campaign was a deliberate strategic move to prevent Umno from losing control of the state government.

Barisan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi has publicly acknowledged PAS president Tan Sri Abdul Hadi Awang's decision to instruct the party to support BN candidates in the Negeri Sembilan state election, while confirming a mutual arrangement.

Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has cautioned Kedah Mentri Besar Muhammad Sanusi Md Nor against expanding political activities into Negeri Sembilan, telling him to concentrate on state-level responsibilities in Kedah instead.

PAS president Hadi Awang has expressed confidence that the cooperation between BN and PN will endure beyond immediate political calculations, characterising the alliance as a genuine effort to stabilise Malaysia rather than a temporary arrangement.

A senior Umno figure has moved to reassure non-Malay Malaysians about the alliance between Barisan Nasional and Perikatan Nasional, arguing that PAS has historically protected minority interests.

Senior PAS figures have publicly rebuked Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin, urging him to abandon nostalgic reflection and redirect energy towards consolidating his party ahead of the Negeri Sembilan state election.

Pas has voiced optimism about capturing all five state constituencies it is fielding in the Negri Sembilan state election, buoyed by a formal understanding struck between coalition partners Perikatan Nasional and Barisan Nasional.

PAS vice-president Amar Abdullah has indicated his party will not shy away from contesting against Bersatu in Negeri Sembilan, should both Perikatan Nasional component parties target overlapping seats in the state election.

Perikatan Nasional chairman Datuk Seri Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has firmly rejected Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin's criticism, insisting he possessed complete authority to oversee discussions between PAS and Barisan Nasional.

Perikatan Nasional has rejected Bersatu's account that its seat negotiation committee meeting was postponed because Pas seeks cooperation with Barisan Nasional, intensifying rifts within the opposition bloc.

PAS information chief Annuar Musa says fulfilling Bersatu's demand for 15 seats in Negeri Sembilan is impossible, highlighting coalition tensions ahead of state elections.

Bersatu has voiced disappointment over Pas engaging in political discussions with Barisan Nasional independently, sidelining other Perikatan Nasional members before the Negri Sembilan state election.

Umno president Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has firmly rejected reports of an agreement with Pas regarding seat allocations for the Negri Sembilan election, signalling potential tensions within the ruling coalition.

Isham Jalil, a former Umno Supreme Council member, has applied to join PAS, stating his desire to continue his political career with a party he believes operates free from corruption.
Barisan Nasional has reclaimed the Maharani state seat from PAS in the Johor election, delivering a notable victory for the long-ruling coalition in one of Malaysia's most politically significant states.

Amanah president Datuk Seri Mohamad Sabu has accused PAS of issuing political directives that fluctuate based on party advantage rather than consistent Islamic principles, calling on voters to exercise independent judgment.

BN chairman Zahid Hamidi has rejected suggestions that PAS electoral support in the Johor state election implies any future political merger or coalition arrangements between Umno and the Islamist party.

Johor Umno deputy chairman Nur Jazlan says Barisan Nasional and PAS lack a formal alliance but share opposition to Pakatan Harapan, particularly at the state level.

Perikatan Nasional's Ahmad Samsuri Mokhtar has firmly rejected claims of back-channel negotiations between PAS and Barisan Nasional ahead of the Johor state election.
Umno president Ahmad Zahid Hamidi says PAS's public rejection of Pakatan Harapan will only benefit Barisan Nasional if it converts into actual votes during Johor state elections.

Former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin has called on Bersatu members to support Barisan Nasional in elections, pointing to PAS's similar political realignment as precedent for cooperation.

Barisan Nasional's Zahid Hamidi has cautioned against assuming that PAS's instruction to supporters not to vote Pakatan Harapan will automatically benefit BN in the Johor election.

Barisan Nasional must actively court PAS voters and sympathisers in seats where the Islamist party is not standing to maximise turnout and strengthen coalition prospects.

A political analyst has suggested that Bersatu voters could cast their ballots for Pakatan Harapan in non-contested seats, driven partly by dissatisfaction with PAS, whose support for BN in certain constituencies may further strain PN unity.

A Perikatan Nasional candidate in Johor has criticised Pas for releasing statements that he claims confuse voters and the coalition's own supporters during the state election campaign.
